Send Me Down To Tucson

Cliff Crofford - Snuff Garrett

© Peso Music, BMI

No one wants to go down to Tucson in the summer
So this time the boss chose me
I've been sorta restless yes he thought it might help it
I got away from my wife and family

There's been no other woman since the mother of my children
And in each and every way she's a lady
Now there's one that I'll remember a sultry night we spent together
And she satisfied the love inside of me

Go on and send me down to Tucson and I'll get the job done
And call up the one whose love is free
She may be easy and I love my lady
But the lady don't satisfy the love inside of me

I know the lady's not to blame cause they raised her prime and proper
While another takes her pleasures where she can
The one in Tucson she don't hide it and when she gets excited
She makes you feel your every inch of man

But if I could have a wish that I knew would be granted
Don't you know that one wish would be
Just to lay beside my lady and she'd be the kind of lady
To satisfy the love inside of me

Go on and send me down to Tucson and I'll get the job done...

Oh yeah go on and send me down to Tucson and I'll get the job done
Send me down to Tucson and I'll get the job done
Send me down to Tucson and I'll get the job done

Goodbye Wheeling

Mel Tillis

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Lord I've been reeling around Wheeling
West Virginia just a little too long
Now I gotta be leaving cause one deceiving
Free wheeling woman done me wrong

It's goodbye Wheeling West Virginia
I don't guess I'll settle down
Since she don't need me I can't see me
Any longer hanging round this old town

Cause I've got a feeling that I've been concealing
Many thoughts about traveling on
These things ain't grooving well I'd better be a moving
When you wake up in the morning big Wheeling I'm gonna be gone gone gone
Gone gone gone

Well it's goodbye Wheeling West Virginia...
Cause I've got a feeling that I've been concealing...
It's goodbye Wheeling West Virginia...

Hy Zaret - Alex North

© Frank Music, ASCAP

Oh my love my darling I've hungered for your touch a long lonely time
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much are you still mine
I need your love I need your love God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely riverside waits for me waits for me
I'll be coming home wait for me

Oh my love my darling I've hungered for your touch a long lonely time...

Blues Man

Joe Smart

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

With a copy of the Myth commercial appeal
For a blanket and faith
Lord knows the first thing I thought
Was the old black man's dead

But he rose and he spoke with a rattlely voice
With tears in his eyes
Of the fame and fortune
And the good times he's known in his life

He said forty years ago along the river
I's well know
As the world's greatest blues man
I went to Basin Street Joe

Oh I set on the best of riverboats
And in houses from here to New Orleans
And I still sing my blues every night
But only in dreams

Oh the times how it changed
Ashamed and never stay like before
But the people they don't wanna hear
The blues man no more

But I see that guitar take an hour
And wrinkle those strings
And I'll show you the whale of the worlds
Greatest blues man

Oh you and me together
We could make the big times roll
Except when people who don't wanna hear
The blues man no more

Yeah the times how they change
Ashamed and never stay like before
While the people they don't wanna hear
The blues man no more

Love Is A Two Way Street (And She's Makin' A Lane Change)

Sterling Whipple

© Tree Pub, BMI

Ah you saw it in her eyes when she spoke about some stranger
It took you by surprise and you knew you were in danger
You saw that loving fire that she had for you long ago
But not anymore ah and it hurts you to know

Now if you feel like you could die she wants to live forever
It's tearing apart your life it's pulling hers together
Tonight you'll be all alone while she'll be out on the town
But not with you uhm and you're wondering with who

Love is a two way street and she's making a lane change
Taking the green light to someone you don't know his name
Watching her tail lights pull outta sight down some lover's lane
Sittin' at home all alone with your pride and your shame
Hatin' yourself for praying she'll come back again

Well you know you oughta pack your bags let her to come home to nothing
But nothing's all she's had that's why she's out there running
You're loving her too much to quit but not enough to take hold or even let go
Ah so there you sit

Love is a two way street and she's making a lane change...
Ah love is a two way street and she's making a lane change...

Charlie's Angel

Ila Gaskin

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

Charlie's somewhere in the bar and this time he's gone too far
Cause she loves him still she's giving up fine
While he's spreadin' on the charm with a new love on his arm
I'll be helping angel make it through the night

And I'm holding Charlie's angel tonight
I'm in heaven while I'm holding her tight
Charlie acted so unwise walking out on paradise
And I'm holding Charlie's angel tonight
[ steel ]
Charlie thinks his game is cool but he's the picture of a fool
Giving up what most men dream of all their life
He'll wake up but much too late and find his angel couldn't wait
And I'm holding Charlie's angel tonight
Yes I'm holding Charlie's angel tonight

Are You Sincere

Wayne P. Walker

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Are you sincere when you say I love you
Are you sincere when you say I'll be true
Do you mean every word that my ears have heard
I'd like to know which way to go will our love grow
Are you sincere
[ steel ]
Are you sincere when you say you miss me
Are you sincere every time you kiss me
And are you really mine every day all the time
I'd like to know which way to go will our love grow
Are you sincere

(Are you sincere) are you sincere (when you say) when you say (I love you) I love you
Are you sincere when you say I'll be true

Every Now And Then

Buddy Cannon

© Sabal Music, BMI

A list of things that I would do to get you back again
Would use up all the paper in the world
I've done so many crazy things I'll never make them right
And I know you won't ever come back girl

But I hope at least I get to see you every now and then
Somewhere in a crowd if nothing more
And I'd hate to think of going through life never more to see
The girl who was so close to me before
[ guitar ]
I know that me calling you would only bring you down
And I don't want you no more down on me
I care how you feel so I'll just stay out of your life
It looks like this is how it's gotta be

But I hope at least I get to see you every now and then...
But I hope at least I get to see you every now and then...

Last Cup Of Coffee

Paul Evans

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

I've had my last cup of coffee with you
Cause baby you tell me we are through
You treated me unkind love I'll never change my mind
I've had my last cup of coffee with you

It's too late now to cry and moan
It's too late now to cry and moan
It's too late now to cry and moan
Cause tomorrow baby I'll be gone

I've had my last cup of coffee with you
Cause baby you tell me we are through
You cheated and you lied you were never satisfied
I've had my last cup of coffee with you
[ guitar - piano ]
Here I go I'm on my way
Here I go I'm gonna stay
You played me for a fool baby now I'm through with you
I've had my last cup of coffee with you

I've had my last cup of coffee with you
Cause baby you tell me we are through
You treated me unkind love I'll never change my mind
I've had my last cup of coffee with you

I've had my last cup of coffee with you
Cause baby you tell me we are through
You cheated and you lied you were never satisfied
I've had my last cup of coffee with you
I've had my last cup of coffee with you
